duced the visitors to the President in a
short address, in which he presented the
great importance Of the question:, Right
Hon. Lyon Playfalr replying. A member
of Parliament and John Will
son, representing the Trade Con.
gress, also made short addresses
N support Of the movement. Mr.. Cramer,
M. p. secretary of the Workingmen's
Peace Association, who originated the
memorial, was then presented to the
President and made an address, in which
he said that the objects sought had met
with the approval Of ali classes in
Great Britain, including numbers Of
members of both Houses of Parliament,
Workiugmen's Peace Association, Mr..
Gladstone and others, and represented it
was especially desirable that the
United States should take the
initiative. The President responded
as follows: "Gentlemep, the main
and prominent idea SO fttingly presented
by you a1d by the memorials you deliver
is lofty and ennobling one, involving the
preservati Il OF peace with ellits manifold
blessings. These have, SIS civilization
has progressed, b cen more and more rec
ogniZed as the basis OF national pr sperity
and happiness, and this ref 3ctien may
we'll lead TO surprise that peace has made
no greater progress IN it's substitu-
ton for the wasting progress of
war, as an eTbiter of international
disputes. L is well that the minds Of the
good and thoughtful men should be now
turned to this subject, and that con-
certed movement should be made to su-
persede the horrors Of war. II is well,
! too, that this eff rt should be msde by
| the people of two countries which
proudly claim TO be in the van of civiIiza-
ton and progress. The people Of my
country boast they can exhibit in their
prosperity and development more CT
| the victories Of peace than can
any other nation of the globe
Al the same time Our history
demonstrates that we need yield to none
in the spirit of patriotism which makes
war terrible. II seems 70 me that the
country thus demonstrating the advantages
Of peace and st the same time having nc
| fear or suspicion OF weakness,
is IL favorable condition to listen
to the merits of the case you
present, and to my own mind there is
nothing more touching or persuasive than
the Fart the laboring men OF England
| have taken in this movement. They
speak for their freedom from the in
creased cost of living induced by war
nay, more, they speak for their homes,
| their families and their lives
| l cannot but think there are object les
sons before the workingmen of America
which will readily awaken their sympathy
with and desire for condition of inter.
national understanding, which shall ale,
viate the death and distress
which Wer brings to their
| households. am sorry to be
| obliged to confess that the practical side
of this question has received but little OF
| my attention. 1 am reminded, too, that
in the administration of the government
difficulty often arises in the ettempt to
carefully apply lessons which in themselves
challenge unqualified approval. Thus il
may DE that friends Of international ar
bitration will not be able to ct once secure
| the adoption In its whole extent or their
humane aud benefcent scheme. But sure
| ly grest progress should be made by q
sincere AMI hearty effort. [ promise
you faithful and careful consideration oil
the matter, and believe may speak fol
the American people in giving the assur-
snce that they desire to gee
the killing of men for the &C
complishment of national ambition
abolished, and they will gladly hal
the advent of peaceful methods in the set
Element OF national disputes so far as thi:
is consistent with the defense and pro-
lection OF our couptry's territory an6
| with the maintenance of our nationa
honor when it affords shelter and repose
| for national integrity and personshas
safety and protection of our citizens"
